Creamy Coconut-Banana Millet Custard. This bowl of goodness hits the spot for breakfast, as a snack, or as a sweet follow-up to dinner!
I’ve been experimenting with making more healthy, creamy, guilt-free sweet things. It’s been going well. Can’t you tell? Sometimes I’m just in the mood for things like this: lightly sweetened, and just….easy.
For starters, here’s the rundown on millet according to Web Md:
Millet is rich in dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble. The insoluble fiber in millet is known as a "prebiotic," which means it supports good bacteria in your digestive system. This type of fiber is also important for adding bulk to stools, which helps keep you regular and reduces your risk of colon cancer
I’m compelled to continue to experiment with millet. The fact that I was able to make millet custard opens my mind up to a whole treasure chest of new ideas.
